Today was the last day of our Puffin Express season for 2017, and it was another huge success! We have been very lucky to enjoy so many of our little seabird friends during their nesting season here in Iceland. Atlantic puffins spend their summers nesting in Iceland before they migrate when the warmer months come […]

We have had such a great start to the puffin season, and well, we are half way through now. The puffins have settled into their nesting on the islands just outside of Reykjavik and the one we visit most often is called Akurey. There are about 30.000 puffins nesting on the islands so it is […]

We have had several amazing puffins tours so far this season, and our guide Sara took some pictures from the tours this morning!

The forecast tonight is looking rather good, so we have decided to head out!

The storm was over and our Whale Watching trip on 
 We sailed out of Reykjavik‘s Old Harbour to Faxafloi Bay where we hoped to encounter some cetacean…

Unfortunately we have to cancel the tour today due to unfavourable sea conditions.

Tonight we took the bus out as it was too rough out on sea – but still a chance that the lights might show themselves!

A nice sunny afternoon in Reykjavik and calm sea…these are the best conditions to go out Whale Watching 

On of our best Northern Lights tour!

It was a rainy afternoon but the whales kept being under the surface.

We took a long stretch around the bay and it looked pretty mystical, as there was fog out there.

When leaving the harbour a lot of cormorants and eider ducks were sitting on the docks. Later on we saw flocks of eider ducks on the bay, as well as fulmars and a couple of gannets.

The whales didn’t show up though unfortunately.

The ride was quite smooth even though there was quite big waves at times.
